Incorrect.
This presupposes that in any game you will ALWAYS be ahead at some point if your bank roll is deep enough. This means that the casino is always behind at some point. Which isn't true.
"Beating the game" can mean one of two things : normally the mathematics means by beating a game is that the player will always win over the long run, and it's mathematically proven.
System and casual players often mean "beating the game" as to be walking away a winner.

Yeah, your premise is pretty obviously false. As the number of sessions increases, your actual returns will approach the theoretical average of all returns. That theoretical average is negative for most games. Unless you're counting cards in BJ or hole-carding in a carnival game, there is an increased likelihood of you being in the red overall as you play more sessions.

Wrong. First of all, "sessions" are illusory. There is no practical difference between your next bet being in thirty seconds or in one week.
Also, it is quite possible, at ANY game, to start off losing and NEVER get even. The upshot is that your overall results will approach the house edge X the total amount bet, however you choose to distribute that amount.
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.---George Bernard Shaw
